Izakaya Midori
This laidback restaurant emanates warmth and welcome. The menu is 100% plant-based, so you’ve got plenty of options to browse through! Think ramen, donburi, sushi and more.

For a casual meal that will please everyone in the gang, head to Govindas. The concept here is simple — just choose up to four different dishes to be served with rice, and you’re good to go.
